Here are my thoughts on the Battlefield Hardline Beta.

Full article available here.

I was bored after nine hours.

There’s a lot of potential in mashing the Battlefield series with the “Hollywood heist” film genre. Hasn’t every little boy played cops & robbers at some point during their childhood? That dream has supposedly graduated from playgrounds and backyards and found its way into the video game industry. Games such as Payday: The Heistand its…

It's the first day of the year so here’s my most anticipated game of 2015.

Big Boss is known as Venom Snake in this game. Hopefully he won’t show up for just ten minutes.

It’s difficult for me to be excited for the games in this coming year. This is because most of the games announced for this year have been given vague release dates. Certain games, such as Splatoon, The Division and Rainbow Six: Siegehave caught my eye but there’s one game I can’t ignore. If I had to…

The Year that Was 2014 in Gaming

Here it is! My personal pick for the best game of 2014!

This post contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season Two. You have been warned.

Something happened to me after completing The Walking Dead: Season Two for the first time. I had patiently waited for the episodes to be released on disc. When it finally arrived I got home from work and played all five episodes in succession. When I finished the last episode, I was a different man. With every…

There were a lot of good games this year. I played a surprising amount of them, at least in comparison to previous years. Before I get into my personal favourite game of the year, I would like to take some time and talk about some of the other games that I enjoyed that didn’t make the top three. So in alphabetical order, here are the honourable mentions of 2014. (more…)

Here’s my personal pick for the second best game of 2014. Alien Isolation.

In space, no one can hear you poop yourself.

I learned very quickly that there’s nowhere to hide in Alien: Isolation and there are so many ways to get yourself killed. If you run too fast, you’re dead. If the Alien sees you, you’re dead. Oh, you fired a gun at the enemy android? Guess what? The Alien heard that, you’re dead. You’re in the middle of saving? The Alien says “hello.” You stayed in…

It's little late, but here's the first game in my Top 3 of 2014. The Wolf Among Us.

This post contains some minor spoilers for The Wolf Among Us.

For most of the year, The Wolf Among Us sat atop of this list. I can’t recall a game that hooked me as quickly as the first episode did and Telltale Games silenced everyone who doubted that lightning could strike twice. Throughout the first half of the year, Telltale Games delivered an enthralling murder mystery video game. The true…

My Year in Review for 2014 in Gaming is up! Check it out:

It’s been a wild year, not just for gaming but for me personally. I joined a gaming website, I built a gaming PC and have spent the last few months in complete seclusion but I have emerged from my cave, older and more unkempt to deliver my thoughts on the year that was 2014. As I did last year, I’m going to go over the year before delving into my personal top three games of the year. I also have…
